1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429
- Engine
- 7.0L (429 cu in) OHV V8, Holley four-barrel carburetor, 375 bhp
- Colour
- Wimbledon White
A 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 finished in Wimbledon White, one of fewer than 900 built for that model year. Originally delivered in Denver, Colorado, the car was reputedly acquired for NHRA Super Stock competition but stored without use when rule changes made the project unviable. Rediscovered after more than a decade in storage, it was comprehensively restored by specialist Bob Perkins to a standard exceeding original factory condition, and subsequently earned Gold awards at major Mustang concours events. The odometer reads just 120 miles, making it among the lowest-mileage surviving examples.
